I used the Corsair Obsidian. Using the Intel SSI-EEB motherboard. Only problem was that it had ATX risers built into the case, so you'd have to get some plastic washers (1/8" inch thick) and electrical tape, place the washer on the risers that you don't need as they'll touch the contacts on the motherboard, tape the washers into place with electrical tape, and then place the motherboard on it. You'll also have to get a couple of screw-in risers. Just know that not all the holes on the motherboard will sit on a riser, but the board itself is stable and doesn't bend.
